What we liked most about your candidacy was your promise of change in
U.S. foreign relations, notably:

Talking to Iran without preconditions. The recent Iranian letter to you opens
the door.

Withdrawing forces from Iraq within 16 months to end that war and occupation.

And in August 2007 — when U.S. warplanes killed 91 Afghan civilians, including
61 children — your scorn for “air-raiding villages and killing civilians” gave hope
that you would end the bombings. They violate The Hague Convention and
customary international law.

As an organization dedicated to carrying out the rule of law in U.S. foreign
affairs, the War and Law League also hopes you will seek:

Overall settlement of the Afghan war. Begun as a supposed hunt for Bin Laden, it has been a seven-year series of war crimes.

An end to executive acts of war, like Bush’s attacks on Pakistan and Syria.

A global treaty aiming at the abolition of nuclear weapons.

The attacks on those nations are unconstitutional, because Congress
never declared war on any of them. They also breach U.S. treaties prohibiting
aggressive war.

The goal of abolishing all nuclear weapons is envisioned by the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty, to which the U.S. is a party.

Ninety years after the armistice ending the "War to End Wars," dare we hope
for such change?
